Title: Divas Championship

Although she would go on to hold the Divas Championship for a record 301 days a few years after this, Nikki Bella's first reign with the much-maligned butterfly belt was far less impressive.

Bella defeated Beth Phoenix on an episode of Raw in 2012 in a lumberjill match, capturing her first championship in the company off the back of her twin magic story arc with sister Brie.

While she may have found success thanks to her sister, she also lost her title after just six days because of her.

That same week at Extreme Rules, Nikki was set to face Phoenix in a rematch, but a late change during the PPV saw Layla step up into the match instead.

In somewhat of an anti-climax, but still in line with the booking for the whole thing, the Bellas' attempt at their twin magic switch backfired, allowing Layla to pin Brie in under three minutes to win the title from Nikki.

The ref had no idea that it was the wrong Bella, so it just stuck.

Nikki wouldn't regain the title for another two years, where she took off on the aforementioned record-breaking reign.
